Why only my Samsung HDD drive triggers this but not the WD drive, I do not know yet. Hope that helps a bit. --------------enig8376BEA5B9FB187BC8515317 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlFcqgcACgkQvmGDOQUufZWWaQCeMAxtWxO2tGDhIYihltp7k5vt tG4AoOJs+E3ZKj5bYzdPuOJZASipS4CZ =7HNI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig8376BEA5B9FB187BC8515317--
